CONCRETE  STEEL  COMPANY 


Camden  W arehouse  and  Shops,  Concrete  Steel  Co. 


1-IAVT  described  in  this  catalogue  the 
I  I  1  various  products  manufactured  by 
this  company  for  use  in  all  types  of 
reinforced  concrete  construction  and  fireproof 
buildings.  It  has  not  been  attempted  to  give 
complete  engineering  or  sales  data,  which  we 
would  be  glad  to  furnish  on  request  from  any 
of  our  district  sales  offices.  It  is  hoped  that 
this  booklet  will  be  properly  filed  and  referred 
to  from  time  to  time. 

All  Havemeyer  Products  are  the  result  of 
careful  study  with  the  aim  of  furnishing  the 
best  possible  article  for  its  particular  purpose. 
Around  these  products  has  been  built  up  the 
Havemeyer  Service,  which  brings  to  the  job 
any  of  the  products  shown  in  this  catalogue 
that  may  be  required.  There  are  many  dis¬ 
tinct  advantages  to 
the  architect,  engi¬ 
neer  and  contractor 
to  be  gained  by  al¬ 
lowing  one  company 
to  furnish  all  ma¬ 
terials  in  its  line

We  carry  large  stocks  of  Havemeyer  Bars 
and  Building  Products  in  our  warehouses  lo¬ 
cated  at  central  points  of  distribution.  Each 
warehouse  is  equipped  with  the  most  modern 
labor-saving  devices  for  handling  our  prod¬ 
ucts,  bending  and  fabricating  Havemeyer 
Bars,  manufacturing  spirals  and  other  devices 
required  in  reinforced  concrete  construction. 
'Fhis  equipment  is  at  your  service — we  are  al¬ 
ways  ready  and  willing  to  serve  you. 

Concrete  Steel  Company  also  maintains 
district  sales  offices  located  in  principal  cities, 
and  in  addition  it  maintains  sales  agents  and 
distributors  in  other  large  cities.  This  com¬ 
plete  sales  force  is  ready  to  render  you  any 
assistance  possible  on  any  concrete  or  fireproof 
structure,  regardless  of  its  location. 

We  maintain  an 
engineering  depart¬ 
ment  in  all  of  our 
sales  offices,  whose 
services  are  at  the 
disposal  of  our  cus¬ 
tomers,  and  our  en¬ 
gineers  are  prepared 
to  furnish  you  any

may  require  for 
the  construction  of 
your  building.  After 
you  have  placed 
your  order  with  us, 
it  is  our  business  to 
get  whatever  materi¬ 
al  you  order  to  your 
work  on  time.  Delays 
are  always  costly  and 
where  Havemeyer  Service  is  employed,  you 
can  be  assured  that  your  order  will  receive 
prompt  attention  and  materials  ordered  will 
be  delivered  to  your  job  as  required. 

Havemeyer  Service  is  the  result  of  twenty 
years  of  practical  experience,  beginning  in  the 
construction  field  and  later  developing  into  a 
service  organization.  Requirements  of  the 
contractor  had  to  be  studied,  and  our  many 
years  of  experience  in  the  field,  together  with 
the  many  large  building  operations  which  we 
have  carried  forward,  during  good  and  bad 
periods,  assure  the  contractor  the  very  best 
possible  organization  behind  every  order  he 
places  with  us.  To  the  architect  or  engineer 
who  specifies  Havemeyer  Products,  we  can  as¬ 


sure  every  possible 
advantage  for  the 
owner  and  contrac¬ 
tor,  always  endeav¬ 
oring  to  make  our 
prices  as  low  as  pos¬ 
sible  consistent  with 
quality. 

Shop  Bending 

We  would  call 
the  particular  attention  of  the  engineer  and 
contractor  to  our  facilities  for  shop  bending 
and  shop  fabricating  of  Havemeyer  Bars.  This 
service  is  one  which  was  originated  by  this 
company  and  has  been  built  up  during  sixteen 
years  of  study  and  labor.  Shop  bending  as¬ 
sures  the  contractor  that  the  bars  are  correctly 
bent,  tagged  and  are  ready  to  place  in  the 
forms.  This  bending  is  done  entirely  by  power 
machines,  designed  and  built  in  our  own  shops 
and  operated  by  experienced  men.  This  is 
more  economical  than  to  employ  men  in  the 
field,  who  necessarily  must  do  a  large  part 
of  the  work  by  hand.  It  saves  the  contractor 
one  operation  and  one  less  gang  of  men  to  look 
after.  We  would  be  very  pleased  to  study  any

job,  no  matter  how  difficult,  furnishing  the  bars 
bent  and  fabricated  ready  to  place  in  the 
forms.  This  service  is  the  most  modern  and 
economical  method  of  furnishing  reinforcing 
steel,  and  too  much  cannot  be  said  of  its  many 
advantages.  We  have  attempted  in  this  book¬ 
let  to  give  a  few  illustrations  showing  some  of 
the  important  steps  in  our  warehouses  towards 
furnishing  fabricated  steel  for  various  types  of 
jobs. 

In  addition  to  shop  bending.  Concrete 
Steel  Company  have  been  pioneers  in  furnish¬ 
ing  new  devices  for  holding  the  bars  in  their 
proper  position  while  the  concrete  is  being 
poured.  These  devices  are  economical  and 
money  savers. 

We  have  also  developed  a  complete  line  of 
wire  products,  which  we  manufacture  on  auto¬ 
matic  machines  in  our  own  shops.  Bar-Tys 


are  made  from  spring  wire  and  make  an 
absolutely  rigid  tie.  Other  forms  of  wire  de¬ 
vices  consist  of  Easel  Chairs  for  holding  the 
bars  in  small  beams.  Extension  Clips  for  fire¬ 
proofing  purposes  in  steel  buildings,  etc. 

Havemeyer  Collapsible  Spirals  are  manu¬ 
factured  in  our  larger  shops,  and  ordinarily 
are  shipped  to  the  job  fully  assembled  and  col¬ 
lapsed.  All  spirals  are  made  with  rigid  angle 
spacers,  the  size  of  the  angle  used  depending 
on  the  diameter  and  length  of  the  spiral. 

Havemeyer  Spirals  have  proven  uniformly 
satisfactory,  and  unless  otherwise  specified 
these  spirals  are  made  with  two  spacers.  Extra 
spacers  can  be  furnished,  either  assembled  on 
the  column  or  loose,  in  order  to  give  addition¬ 
al  rigidity.  Hot  rolled  rods  are  ordinarilyused 
for  coils,  but  cold  drawn  wire  can  be  furnished 
if  required,  at  a  slight  additional  expense.

Havemeyer  Engineering  Service 


Concrete  Steel  Company  maintains  an 
experienced  and  efficient  engineer¬ 
ing  department  at  every  district  sales 
office  for  the  benefit  of  customers.  These  en¬ 
gineering  departments  will  gladly  co-operate 
with  engineers,  architects  and  contractors  in 
making  up  designs,  estimates  and  plans  on  any 
type  of  reinforced  concrete  structure — a  serv¬ 
ice  behind  which  are  many  years  of  experience 
in  every  conceivable  kind  of  concrete  rein¬ 
forcing  problem. 

Our  Engineering  Department  consists  of 
especially  trained  engineers.  We  make  up 
preliminary  bids  for  contractors,  furnishing 

lump  sum  figures 
which  include  all  re¬ 
in  forcing  steel  re¬ 
quired,  together  with 
specialties,  such  as 
beam  saddles,  bar- 
*  spacers,  Hy-Chairs, 
etc.,  including  neces¬ 
sary  bending,  bund¬ 
ling,  tagging  and 
delivery  of  steel  as  re¬ 
quired,  floor  by  floor. 


We  make  up  bending  details  and  furnish  to  our 
customers  a  complete  list  of  steel  required  on 
the  job,  showing  the  location  of  each  bar 
whether  bent  or  straight,  and  also  furnish  any 
necessary  erection  plans,  making  original  de¬ 
signs  where  required. 

In  other  words,  we  take  a  building  laid  out 
by  the  architect  or  engineer  and  make  up  the 
complete  design,  together  with  working  draw¬ 
ings,  erection  details  and  plans  showing  the 
location  of  all  reinforcing  steel.  Frequently 
we  can  find  ways  of  effecting  substantial 
economies  in  construction  costs.  A  moderate 
charge  is  made  for  this  Engineering  Service. 

Whenever  the 
slightest  element  of 
doubt  arises  as  to  the 
proper  use  of  Have¬ 
meyer  Products,  the 
Concrete  Steel  Com- 
pany’s  engineers 
stand  ready  to  dem¬ 
onstrate  the  efficiency 
and  helpfulness  of

HAVE  MEYER  BARS  and  BUILDING  PRODUCTS 


To  bring  the  steel  to  your  job  on  time — a  typical  plant  siding — an  important  phase  of  our  service  at  all  warehouses 


Unsurpassed  Havemeyer  Bar  Service 


AVEMEYER  Bar  Service  today  is  the 
result  of  a  careful  study  of  the  eco¬ 
nomical  distribution  of  concrete  re¬ 
inforcement  and  building  products.  On  the 
one  hand,  we  have  the  large  steel  mills, 
equipped  with  modern,  high-speed,  continu¬ 
ous  rolling  mills,  manufacturing  steel  bars  in 
large  quantities ; 
while  on  the  other 
hand  we  have  a  given 
building  operation, 
requiring  steel  deliv¬ 
ered  on  the  job  from 
day  to  day,  week  to 
week  and  month  to 
month  as  the  job  pro¬ 
gresses.  The  con¬ 
tractor  naturally 
wants  the  steel  deliv- 
ered  in  accordance 
with  the  progress  of 
his  work,  starting 
usually  in  the  case  of 
a  building,  with  the 
footings,  basement 


columns,  retaining  walls,  and  then  on  up  to 
the  various  doors  and  the  roof,  pent  house, 
coping,  etc.  The  steel  required  must  be  cut 
to  various  lengths,  with  bundles  properly 
tagged  so  that  each  can  be  readily  identified. 
If  the  work  is  located  in  a  large  city  we  can 
deliver  in  truck-load  lots,  working  as  closely 

as  possible  to  the 
contractor’s  con¬ 
struction  schedule. 
Where  material  is 
shipped  in  carload 
lots,  the  same  pro¬ 
cedure  is  followed. 

With  the  con¬ 
tractor,  speed  is 
usually  essential,  be¬ 
cause  speed  means  the 
saving  of  dollars  in 
overhead  and  often 
means  extra  money 
in  bonuses.  Delays 
in  the  delivery  of  re¬ 
inforcing  steel  are 
serious,  for  when  the

and  special  machinery — the  best  facilities

material  is  not  on  hand,  construction  work 
must  stop,  and  any  building  operation  closed 
down  even  for  a  day  may  mean  the  loss  of 
thousands  of  dollars. 

Havemeyer  Service  has  been  thoroughly 
and  carefully  organized  so  as  to  safeguard  the 
contractor  against  delays.  Building  operations 
are  carefully  studied  by  our  engineers,  and  our 
delivery  schedules  fit  in  closely  with  the  sched¬ 
ules  laid  out  by  the  contractor. 

M’hile  the  contractor  wants  to  be  sure  that 
his  reinforcing  bars  will  not  be  delayed,  it  is 
equally  important  not  to  have  this  material 
arrive  on  the  job  too  far  in  advance  of  the 
time  it  is  needed.  This  also  is  expensive  for 
the  contractor,  as  bars  become  misplaced, 
rusty  and  usually  require  re-handling  many 
times.  In  addition  to  this,  the  contractor  as¬ 
sumes  a  financial  obligation  which  he  must 
meet  and  on  which  he  cannot  realize  for 
perhaps  several  weeks  or  months.  Havemeyer 
Service  avoids  this  unnecessary  expenditure, 
and  by  co-ordinating  our  shipments  with  the 
requirements  of  the  contractor,  a  much  smaller 
cash  investment  is  required  in  his  work. 

Havemeyer  Bar  Warehouses  are  located 
in  all  the  larger  cities  and  principal  shipping 
centers  throughout  the  United  States,  with 
an  additional  list  of  dealers  handling  our  ma¬ 
terial  in  smaller  cities.  Our  organization  has 
been  built  up  of  district  sales  offices  in  charge 
of  competent  and  experienced  sales  managers. 
We  can  quote  on  a  job  anywhere  in  the  United 
States  from  any  one  of  our  district  offices,  and 
each  district  office  is  prepared  to  enter  orders 


Bending  Bars  to  exact  details — interior  view  of  one  of  the 
many  fabricating  shops  of  the  Concrete  Steel  Company 


direct  with  any  of  our  warehouses.  This 
service  has  proven  very  valuable  and  a  big 
time  saver.  A  contractor  located  in  one  city 
and  figuring  on  a  job  in  some  other  part  of  the 
country  can  get  full  and  complete  information 
from  our  district  office  nearest  to  him. 

Equipment 

Each  of  our  warehouses  is  equipped  with 
the  most  modern  machinery  for  handling, 
shearing,  assembling,  bending  and  fabricating 
reinforcing  bars.  These  machines  have  been 
designed  and  built  in  our  own  shops  to  meet 
our  own  special  needs. 

Our  facilities  for  shop  bending  are  unsur¬ 
passed.  Many  different  types  of  bar  benders 
are  used,  depending  on  the  type  of  bend  re¬ 
quired.  These  bar  benders  have  been  de¬ 
signed  by  us  to  do  the  work  quickly  and  eco¬ 
nomically.  Shop  bending  today  is  well  estab¬ 
lished  among  the  best  contractors  in  the  coun¬ 
try.  Bars  can  be  bent  in  our  warehouses 
much  cheaper  than  on  the  job,  and  in  addi¬ 
tion  the  contractor  has  the  satisfaction  of 
knowing  that  when  the  bars  are  placed  in  the 
forms  they  are  bent  true  to  detail.  Many 
engineers  and  architects  are  specifying  shop 
bending  on  their  work  on  account  of  the 
greater  accuracy  and  economy  than  would  be 
possible  if  the  same  work  were  done  in  the 
field. 

Havemeyer  Service,  therefore,  starts  with 
estimating  the  job  and  ends  with  the  delivery 
of  the  last  lot  of  steel,  bent,  fabricated  and 
ready  to  place  in  the  forms.

HAVEMEYER  BARS  and  BUILDING  PRODUCTS 


Havemeyer  Bars 


AVEMEYER  Bars  are  rolled  in  Round, 
Square  and  Flat  sections  and  are  de¬ 
signed  to  meet  the  necessary  require¬ 
ments  of  a  mechanical  bond  in  concrete  and 
at  the  same  time  maintain  a  constant  cross 
section  equal  to  that  of  a  plain  bar.  The  de¬ 
formations  in  the  bar  run  longitudinally  and 
enter  directly  into  the  tensile  strength  of  the 
bar,  no  metal  being  used  for  mechanical  bond 
only.  This  means  a  bar  with  a  strong  mechan¬ 
ical  bond,  rolled  to  the  same  weight,  area  and 
strength  of  a  plain  bar,  thus  effecting  a  consid¬ 
erable  saving  in  weight  of  metal  over  other 
types  of  deformed  bars. 

In  the  case  of  the  square  bar,  this  constant 
cross  sectional  area  is  obtained  by  alternating 
plain  square  sections  with  irregular  sections 
produced  by  depressing  two  opposite  corners 
of  the  bar  and  raising  an  equal  amount  of 
metal  on  its  four  faces. 

On  the  round  bar  there  are  no  depressions, 
but  the  projections  on  the  adjacent  faces  are 
staggered.  The  same  is  true  of  the  flat  bar. 

Havemeyer  Flat  Bars  are  designed  par¬ 
ticularly  for  construction  requiring  bars  bent 
to  a  radius,  such  as  silos,  grain  elevators  and 
sewers.  These  bars  bend  very  readily,  as  the 
upper  and  lower  flanges  come  in  contact  with 
the  bending  rolls,  leaving  the  deformations  ab¬ 
solutely  intact. 

On  all  Havemeyer  Bars  the  projections 
and  depressions  run  longitudinally  and  rise 
and  fall  gradually,  thus  allowing  a  free  and 
uninterrupted  flow  of  metal  while  being 
rolled. 

These  irregularities  or  deformations  offer 
a  mechanical  bond  or  resistance  in  the  con¬ 
crete  which  is  more  than  sufficient  to  develop 
the  strength  of  the  bar,  independent  of  the 
surface  adhesion. 

Laboratory  tests  have  shown  that  Have¬ 
meyer  Bars  develop  maximum  efficiency,  will 
not  pull  or  split  the  concrete  and  will  not  twist 
under  stress.  There  are  no  sharp  edges  to 
start  a  fracture. 

Havemeyer  Bars  are  rolled  only  from  the 
highest  grade  new  billet  steel  to  any  desired 
standard  specification,  at  mills  which  do  not 


re-roll  rails,  thus  avoiding  any  chance  of  error. 
Great  care  is  used  in  the  selection  of  steel.  By 
specifying  and  purchasing  Havemeyer  Bars, 
the  risk  of  securing  an  inferior  grade  of  steel 
is  eliminated.

Economy  in  Construction 

All  Havemeyer  Bars  have  a  constant  ef¬ 
fective  cross-section  and  consequently  are 
rolled  to  the  same  weight  as  a  plain  bar  of  cor¬ 
responding  size,  no  metal  being  wasted  to  se¬ 
cure  a  mechanical  bond  in  the  concrete.  Ac¬ 
cordingly  the  contractor  can  reduce  his  cost  of 
reinforcement  to  a  minimum,  at  the  same  time 
furnishing  the  desired  area  of  steel.  A  strong 
mechanical  bond  is  secured  without  increas¬ 
ing  the  weight  of  steel  and  consequently  with¬ 
out  increasing  the  cost. 

Havemeyer  Bars  will  bend  easily,  because 
the  metal  in  the  projections  follows  the  bend 
as  readily  as  the  metal  in  the  body  of  the  bar. 

The  changes  in  cross-section  of  the  Have¬ 
meyer  Bar  are  gradual.  There  are  no  abrupt 
changes  which  tend  to  start  cracks  in  the  steel 
when  bending. 

Havemeyer  Bars  can  be  easily  wired  at 
intersections,  the  projections  and  depressions 
preventing  the  wire  from  slipping.  This  is 


of  particular  advantage  when  placing  vertical 
reinforcement. 

Havemeyer  Bars  are  rolled  on  regular 
schedules  in  the  Pittsburgh,  Youngstown,  Chi¬ 
cago,  Birmingham,  Buffalo  and  Kansas  City 
districts  by  the  largest  and  most  modern  roll¬ 
ing  mills  in  the  country. 

During  periods  of  unusual  steel  activity, 
when  a  shortage  of  steel  exists  and  concrete 
bars  are  difficult  to  obtain,  the  large  number 
of  rolling  mills  furnishing  Havemeyer  Bars 
assures  us  a  steady  flow  of  steel  into  our  ware¬ 
houses,  so  as  to  maintain,  at  all  times,  uninter¬ 
rupted  Havemeyer  Service. 

Quality  of  Steel 

Havemeyer  Bars  are  rolled  to  Manufac¬ 
turers  Standard  Specifications  for  Concrete 
Reinforcing  Bars,  New  Billet  Steel,  using 
Structural,  Intermediate  or  Hard  Grade. 
They  can  also  be  furnished  to  o'ther  standard 
specifications. 


There  has  never  been  a  time  since  reinforced  concrete  construction  became  a  factor  in  American  build¬ 
ing,  -when  the  engineer  should  pay  more  attention  to  the  quality  of  steel  entering  into  reinforcing  bars, 
than  at  the  present  time.  Great  care  should  be  exercised  in  the  proper  inspection  of  the  steel  that  enters 
into  a  concrete  structure.  We  would  call  particular  attention  to  the  fact  that  all  Havemeyer  Bars  are 
rolled  only  from  highest  grade  new  billet  steel,  these  billets  being  rolled  directly  from  the  original  ingot, 
and  every  care  is  used  to  make  sure  that  the  purchaser  is  securing  Havemeyer  Bars  of  the  quality  of  steel 
represented.  This  absolutely  assures  the  architect,  engineer,  contractor  and  owner  that  only  the  very 
highest  quality  of  steel  will  be  used  in  his  work.  We  consider  this  of  the  utmost  importance.

Havemeyer  Collapsible  Spirals 


Making  Havemeyer  Collapsible  Spirals  in  a 
typical  Concrete  Steel  Co.  fabricating  plant 

Havemeyer  Collapsible  Spirals 
are  manufactured  in  our  own 
shops,  and  prompt  shipments  can 
always  be  made.  They  are  usually 
made  up  with  two  spacers  and 
shipped  collapsed.  Additional 
spacers  can  be  furnished  if  de¬ 
sired. 

An  angle  spacer  is  used,  the  size 
of  the  angle  depending  upon  the 
size  and  weight  of  the  spiral. 
These  angles  give  sufficient  stifif- 
ness  to  hold  the  spirals  in  position 
when  set  in  the  forms.  When 
properly  handled  the  spirals  re¬ 
quire  no  straightening  after  ar¬ 
rival  on  the  job.  The  coils  are 
made  from  either  hot  rolled  rods 
or  cold  drawn  wire,  as  ordered. 
Rods  are  correctly  coiled  to  a  true 
diameter  and  rigidly  attached  to 


Assembling  Havemeyer  Collapsible  Spirals 
— specially  trained  workmen  are  employed 


the  spacer,  allowance  being  made 
for  collapsing.  Coils  are  attached 
to  one  face  of  the  angle,  so  that  the 
strength  or  rigidity  of  the  angle  is 
not  impaired.  After  very  careful 
experimenting,  this  was  found  to 
make  the  most  efficient  type  of 
spiral.

The  Havemeyer  Collapsible  Col¬ 
umn  is  made  up  by  using  Have¬ 
meyer  Bars  for  longitudinal  mem¬ 
bers  and  for  bands.  The  bands  are 
attached  to  the  longitudinal  mem¬ 
bers  by  the  use  of  Bar-Tys.  These 
columns  are  shipped  collapsed  and 
are  readily  opened  and  set  in 
place.

Havemeyer  Expanded  Metal 


AVEMEYER  Expanded  Metal  is  manu¬ 
factured  in  many  different  gauges  and 
in  a  large  variety  of  meshes  designed 
for  various  purposes.  The  coarser  or  heavier 
meshes  are  used  generally  for  reinforcing  con¬ 
crete  floors,  roofs,  bridges,  sewers,  retaining 
walls,  etc.  Expanded  metal  can  be  laid  very 
rapidly  by  unskilled  workmen.  It  is  only 
necessary  to  lay  the  sheets  in  place  with  ends 
and  sides  lapping  one  diamond  and  to  see  that 
the  sheets  are  kept  the  proper  distance  from 
the  forms  during  concreting.  This  end  lap 
is  sufficient  to  develop  the  full  strength  of  the 
steel  and  may  occur  at  any  point. 

Because  of  this  meshed  formation,  a  con¬ 
centrated  load  at  any  one  point  is  immediately 
taken  up  and  equally  distributed  over  the  en¬ 
tire  area.  Any  tensile  stress  tends  to  compress 
the  diamonds,  and  this  in  turn,  is  resisted  by 
the  concrete  within  the  mesh. 

The  smaller  meshes  are  used  for  machine 
guards,  partitions,  and  other  purposes. 

We  have  a  special  type  of  expanded  metal 
used  largely  to  reinforce  Burial  Vaults.  The 
strand  of  steel  is  about  3/32"  wide,  the  expan¬ 
sions  large  enough  to  permit  a  free  flow  of 
concrete  which  eliminates  voids.  Sheets 
24"  X  96".  Packed  16  yards  to  the  bundle.

Havemeyer  Electric  Weld  Fabric 


AVEMEYER  Electric  Weld  Wire  Mesh 
or  Fabric  is  used  for  reinforcing  con¬ 
crete  slabs  in  building  construction, 
roads,  sidewalks,  and  many  other  places  where 
a  light  reinforcement  is  required.  It  is  usually 
shipped  in  rolls,  either  plain  or  galvanized. 


In  order  to  secure  a  variation  in  weight 
and  area  of  steel,  it  is  only  necessary  to  use 
various  sizes  of  wires  and  spacings.  This  flex¬ 
ibility  in  manufacture  renders  the  Electrical¬ 
ly  Welded  Fabric  the  most  popular  type  of 
wire  mesh  reinforcement. 


CONCRETE  STEEL  COMPANY 


This  material  can  be  furnished  in  rolls  or 
in  sheets.  It  can  also  be  furnished  in  various 
widths,  plain  or  galvanized.  We  carry  in 
stock  certain  types  for  which  there  is  the 
greatest  demand,  and  there  are  other  types 
which  we  can  ship  from  the  mill  promptly. 

In  addition  to  the  types  shown  in  the  tables, 
other  types  can  be  supplied  on  order.  Take  up 
your  requirements,  whatever  they  may  be, 
with  our  nearest  district  office,  and  we  will

Havemeyer  Spacing  and  Holding  Devices 


HE  proper  placing  of  reinforcing  steel 
is  of  the  utmost  importance.  Rein¬ 
forcing  bars  must  not  only  be  properly 
placed  in  accordance  with  the  engineer’s  de¬ 
signs,  but  it  is  equally  important  that  they  be 
held  rigidly  in  place  while  the  concrete  is  be¬ 
ing  poured.  After  the  concrete  is  poured  it  is 
impossible  to  tell  whether  the  steel  is  in  its 
proper  place  or  not,  but  the  strength  of  the 
building  depends  entirely  on  the  steel  being 
placed  in  accordance  with  the  engineer’s  plans. 

While  the  concrete  is  being  poured  consid¬ 
erable  pressure  is  brought  against  the  steel  due 
to  tamping,  screeding,  etc.  By  using  Have¬ 
meyer  Supporting,  Spacing  and  Tying  De¬ 
vices,  the  owner,  architect  or  engineer  is  abso¬ 
lutely  assured  that  the  steel  is  being  held  rig¬ 
idly  in  its  correct  position  and  that  it  will  be 
in  its  correct  position  after  the  concrete  is 
poured.  These  devices  have  been  in  use  for 


many  years  and  have  met  with  popular  favor 
on  all  sides.  By  using  these  devices  an  archi¬ 
tect  or  engineer  will  know  that  the  steel  is  just 
where  it  should  be  and  will  be  there  when  the 
building  is  finished.  He  knows  that  the  floors, 
beams,  girders,  walls,  etc.,  will  carry  safely 
their  designed  load.  Havemeyer  Beam  Sad¬ 
dles,  Slab  Spacers  and  Hy-Chairs  are  made  to 
order  in  our  own  shops  to  fill  the  require¬ 
ments  of  each  particular  job.  During  con¬ 
struction  work,  the  inspector  can  tell  at  a 
glance  whether  the  steel  is  where  it  belongs. 

Mechanical  supporting  and  spacing  de¬ 
vices  are  required  by  the  building  codes  of 
many  large  cities  and  are  specified  today  by 
leading  architects  and  engineers  all  over  the 
country.  By  using  these  devices  the  contractor 
places  the  steel  very  quickly  and  accurately, 
and  the  expense  is  very  little,  if  any,  more  than 
the  old-fashioned,  slip-shod  methods.

This  chair  is  used  par¬ 
ticularly  on  flat  slab  work 
for  holding  bars  at  any 
height  off  forms.  It  is 
made  of  very  highest 
grade  open  hearth  steel. 

The  locking  prong  at  the 
top  keeps  the  bar  in  its  po¬ 
sition  and  prevents  it  from 
loosening.  These  chairs 
are  provided  with  nailing 
holes  so  that  they  can  be 

securely  fastened  to  the  forms  if  desired.  The  bead  gives  it  additional  strength.  Hy-Chairs  are  shipped  nested  and 
crated  and  are  made  up  on  receipt  of  order.  Prompt  shipment  can  always  be  made  according  to  specifications. 


Havemeyer  Secure  Bar  Spacers 


This  spacer  is  used  for  correctly  spacing  bars  in  slabs  and  at  the  same  time  holding  bars  the  required  distance  off  the 
forms.  It  is  made  from  highest  grade  hoop  steel.  The  locking  arms  are  quickly  wrapped  around  the  bars,  which  pre¬ 
vents  their  being  displaced  during  concreting.  Securo  Bar  Spacers  are  made  on  receipt  of  order  and  prompt  ship¬ 
ment  can  always  be  made  according  to  specifications.  They  are  shipped  nested  in  bundles  and  are  easily  handled  on  the 

job.  By  using 
these  spacers  you 
are  assured  that 
the  steel  is  cor¬ 
rectly  placed  and 
will  so  remain 
while  concrete  is 
poured.  The  in¬ 
spector  can  tell  at 
a  glance  whether

Havemeyer  Beam  Saddles  and  Separators 


These  devices  are  used  to  hold  the  bars  at  the  required  dis¬ 
tance  from  the  bottom  of  beams  and  girders.  They  are 
made  from  the  highest  grade  steel,  with  locking  arms  which 
are  easily  closed.  They  can  be  attached  to  the  bars  before 
placing  in  the  forms,  and  a  complete  unit  assembled 
and  dropped  in  the  forms.  If  desired,  the  beam  saddles 
can  be  placed  in  the  bottom  of  the  forms  and  the  bars 


laid  in  the  notches.  Separators  are  used  when  two  layers 
of  bars  are  called  for.  The  large  openings  at  the  bottom 
allow  the  concrete  to  flow  freely,  and  no  voids  are  formed. 
All  beam  saddles  and  separators  are  made  up  promptly 
upon  receipt  of  order  according  to  details.  They  are 
shipped  crated  and  nested — the  cheapest  and  best  devices

Havemeyer  Sani-Tread  is  a  combination  of  steel  plate 
and  lead  slugs.  The  plate  is  punched  with  steel  flanges  that 
hold  the  lead  slugs  rigidly  in  place.  Havemeyer  Sani- 
Tread  may  be  applied  to  any  type  of  concrete  or  combina¬ 
tion  stair,  platform  or  other  surface,  and  has  the  advan¬ 
tage  of  being  buried  in  the 
concrete  on  the  top  surface — 
offering  a  smooth  though  non¬ 
slip  tread.  Havemeyer  Sani- 
Treads  are  sanitary  and  dur¬ 
able.  Surfaces  equipped  with 
Sani-Treads  can  be  easily 
cleaned  as  the  treads  are  al¬ 
ways  flush  with  the  surface. 

Unlike  most  other  treads  there  are  no  projections  on  which  to  trip  and  cause  accidents.  Sani-Treads  are  largely  used 
on  stairways  of  schools,  libraries  and  industrial  buildings.  They  are  made  in  three  sizes:  3",  3  leads  wide;  434")  4  leads 
wide;  534",  5  leads  wide.  Prompt  shipment  from  stock.

Havemeyer  Inserts  for  Every  Purpose 


XN  practically  every  factory  or  ware¬ 
house  building  it  is  necessary  to  hang 
from  the  ceilings  shafting,  motors, 
piping  or  other  equipment.  Inserts  embedded 
in  the  concrete  at  the  time  of  pouring,  when 
properly  placed,  will  meet  any  requirement. 
Too  much  attention  cannot  be  given  by  the  ar¬ 
chitect  or  engineer  to  the  type  of  insert  to  be 
used,  particularly  in  factory  construction. 
Naturally,  the  size  of  the  insert  will  depend 
upon  the  load  to  be  carried  and  the  type  of  the 
article  which  the  insert  is  to  carry. 

In  some  factory  buildings,  the  machinery 
and  pipe  layout  can  be  planned  before  the 
building  is  erected,  and  in  such  cases  an  ad¬ 
justable  insert  is  not  entirely  necessary. 

In  many  cases,  however,  the  engineer  speci¬ 
fies  an  insert  which  will  allow  a  certain 
amount  of  adjustability.  This  not  only  gives 
more  leeway  in  placing  overhead  equipment, 
but  also  makes  allowance  for  future  changes. 
Engineers  frequently  will  place  more  inserts 
than  are  necessary  to  use  at  the  time  a  building 
is  erected  in  order  to  provide  for  any  changes 


or  additions  in  plant  equipment  which  might 
be  made  at  some  future  date.  It  is  extremely 
difficult  and  very  expensive  to  fasten  equip¬ 
ment  to  a  ceiling  of  a  concrete  building  where 
sufficient  inserts  are  not  provided. 

By  spending  a  comparatively  small  amount 
of  money  on  additional  inserts,  future  require¬ 
ments  can  be  pretty  well  anticipated.  Have¬ 
meyer  Inserts  are  provided  in  three  general 
types:  “Y”  Socket  Inserts,  which  are  tapped 
and  threaded,  and  do  not  allow  any  adjust¬ 
ment;  Dayton  Malleable  Inserts,  which  allow 
adjustment  up  to  2";  and  the  Slotted  Inserts, 
made  of  pressed  steel,  which  will  give  almost 
unlimited  adjustment.  Havemeyer  Slotted 
Inserts  have  been  very  popular,  particularly 
among  automobile  manufacturers,  and  many 
miles  have  been  installed  in  some  of  the  larg¬ 
est  motor  car  plants  in  the  country. 

Safety  is  a  most  important  factor  in  the  use 
of  inserts,  as  the  failure  of  a  single  insert  may 
result  in  serious  damage  and  loss  of  life.  All 
types  of  Havemeyer  Inserts  have  been  tested 
and  will  not  fail. 


Havemeyer  Slotted  Inserts 


Davemeyer  Slotted 
Inserts  are  adjust¬ 
able  over  their  en¬ 
tire  length.  They  are  made 
from  15  gauge  sheet  steel 
pressed  into  shape  and  in 
lengths  of  12",  18",  24"  and 
36".  Where  a  longer  ad¬ 
justability  is  required,  the 
end  caps  can  be  removed 
and  a  continuous  slot  ob¬ 
tained.  The  standard  type 
of  insert  uses  a  bolt.  If 
a  smaller  bolt  is  desired, 
washers  can  be  easily  in¬ 
serted  to  hold  and  yy 
bolts.  Inserts  for  yy  bolt 
can  be  furnished  on  order. 
Havemeyer  Slotted  Inserts 
have  the  bolt  opening  in  the 
center,  so  the  bolt  can  be 
placed  on  either  end. 


ANCHOR 


We  would  call  particular 
attention  to  the  method  of 
anchorage,  which  is  of  ut¬ 
most  importance.  Steel 
loops  are  anchored  below 
the  bolt  runway,  which 
gives  it  the  maximum  carry¬ 
ing  strength.  Havemeyer 
Slotted  Inserts  are  provided 
with  six  nailing  holes  so 
that  they  can  be  securely 
fastened  to  the  forms  while 
the  concrete  is  being 
poured,  and  there  is  no 
chance  of  their  being  dis¬ 
placed  after  they  are  set. 

Havemeyer  Slotted  In¬ 
serts,  using  a  bolt,  have 
been  tested  for  12,400  lbs. 

We  carry  a  complete 
stock  of  these  inserts  in  our 
warehouses.

Havemeyer  Malleable  Inserts 


AVEMEYER  Malleable  Inserts  are  made 
in  three  types:  Dayton  Adjustable  In¬ 
sert  No.  3,  Dayton  Adjustable  Insert 
No.  5  and  Havemeyer  “Y”  Socket  Insert. 
These  inserts  are  made  from  the  highest  grade 
malleable  iron.  They  have  been  on  the  mar¬ 
ket  for  many  years,  have  been  thoroughly 
tested  and  always  found  dependable.  Dayton 
Inserts  are  adjustable,  as  shown  below,  while 
the  Havemeyer  “Y”  Socket  Insert  is  threaded 
to  receive  a  bolt  and  is  not  adjustable.  The 
anchorage  of  the  Dayton  Inserts  is  in  the  form 


of  a  loop,  which  allows  reinforcing  bars  to  be 
strung  through  the  loops  if  additional  anchor¬ 
age  is  desired.  The  base  surfaces  of  all  Have¬ 
meyer  Malleable  Inserts  are  carefully  ma¬ 
chined  so  as  to  fit  snugly  on  the  forms,  thus 
preventing  any  possible  seepage  of  concrete. 
When  using  Dayton  Inserts  it  is  not  necessary 
to  use  washers  or  other  devices,  and  accord¬ 
ingly  bolts  can  be  readily  inserted  and  re¬ 
moved.  Shipments  in  any  quantity  can  be 
made  promptly.  Detailed  specifications  of 
these  inserts  follow.

anchors  are  em¬ 
bedded  suffi¬ 
ciently  deep  in 
the  concrete  to 
give  a  very- 
strong  grip. 
These  inserts  are 
tapped  and  threaded  for  standard  machine 
bolts.  They  are  frequently  used  in  the 
bottom  of  beams,  girders  and  slabs,  where 
adjustment  is  not  required,  also  for  pip¬ 
ing,  sprinklers,  etc.  Carried  in  stock  in

Havemeyer  Round  Nose  Curb  Bar  showing  bending  and  method  of  bundling  for  shipment 


Havemeyer  Round  Nose  Curb  Bar 


AVEMEYER  Round  Nose  Curb  Bar 
meets  every  demand  that  a  curb  bar  is 
called  upon  to  fulfill.  It  is  made 
from  tire  very  highest  grade  open-hearth  steel. 
The  anchors  are  sheared  from  the  web  and 
are  an  integral  part  of  the  bar.  These  anchors 
are  staggered  and  are  bent  out  from  the  center 
line  of  plane,  so  as  to  secure  an  exceedingly 
strong  anchorage  in  the  concrete  curb.  These 
anchors  not  only  hold  the  bar  hrmly  in  place 
but  also  act  as  a  preventative  of  cracks  which 
frequently  form  in  the  concrete  curb  near  the 


edge.  The  bar  is  rolled  with  a  sharp  edge  so 
that  no  fillet  is  formed  at  this  point  when 
troweling  takes  place. 

Havemeyer  Curb  Bars  are  very  simple  to 
install.  The  absence  of  a  continuous  web  per¬ 
mits  even  and  accurate  bending  without  kink¬ 
ing.  The  bar  is  so  bent  that  the  plane  of  the  45 
degree  angle  is  maintained  in  order  to  be  in 
harmony  with  the  straight  bar  at  point  of  tan¬ 
gent.  All  curb  bars  are  galvanized  and 
shipped  in  bundles.  Carried  in  stock  in  8',  10' 
and  12'  lengths.  We  bend  to  any  radius.

The  anchors  occur  every  six  inches  and  extend 
into  the  concrete  2^/fx".  They  are  sheared  and 
punched  from  the  top  leg.  Also  on  the  top  leg 
are  rolled  three  rows  of  lugs,  which  add  to  the 


wearing  quality  and  prevent  slipping.  This 
curb  bar  is  particularly  valuable  for  shipping 
platform  edges,  stair  nosing,  protection  for 
corners  of  concrete  columns  and  for  any  curb 
where  a  square  edge  angle  is  desired.  Stocked 
in  10'  lengths,  galvanized,  cut  to  length  and 
bent  as  required.

Havemeyer  Concrete  Road  Reinforcement 


EINFORCEMENT  of  concrete  highways  is 
the  insurance  for  public  good  will/' 
Not  only  is  this  slogan  literally  true 
but  it  rests  upon  a  firm  foundation  of  practical 
experience  and  scientific  fact. 

Our  methods  of  transportation  are  now  un¬ 
dergoing  a  change  and  many  secondary  elec¬ 
tric  and  steam  railroads  are  being  abandoned 
on  account  of  competition  from  motor  busses 
and  trucks.  This  competition  has  been  made 
possible  by  the  widespread  construction  of 
hard  surface  highways  during  the  last  few 
years. 

If  our  concrete  pavements  are  to  carry  a 
heavy  motor  bus  and  truck  traffic,  and  most  of 
them  do  soon  after  construction,  they  must  be 


well  reinforced  with  steel  to  insure  a  reason¬ 
able  life  free  from  excessive  maintenance 
expense. 

Experience  and  numerous  traffic  tests  have 
shown  the  reinforced  concrete  pavement  to  be 
the  economic  type  for  modern  heavy  traffic 
under  average  conditions. 

For  light  traffic  where  the  structural 
strength  of  the  paving  slab  is  not  so  important, 
a  moderate  amount  of  steel  reinforcement 
properly  placed  in  the  slab  will  completely 
eliminate  cracking,  reduce  maintenance  and 
insure  a  fine  looking  permanent  construction. 

Where  an  asphalt  or  other  type  wearing  sur¬ 
face  is  desired,  a  reinforced  concrete  base  of 
moderate  thickness  will  not  only  greatly  in-

crease  the  life  of  the  wearing  surface  but  it 
will  prevent  the  formation  of  unsightly  cracks 
in  the  pavement. 

All  these  things  are  accomplished  at  a  very 
small  proportionate  increase  in  cost  over 
former  methods. 

To  attain  these  desirable  results  in  the  most 
economical  manner  the  Engineers  of  the  Con¬ 
crete  Steel  Company  have  developed  a  system 
of  reinforcement  for  highways  similar  in  many 
respects  to  that  which  is  now  universally  used 
in  reinforced  concrete  building  construction. 

More  than  2,500  miles  of  pavements  have 
been  constructed  with  our  reinforcement  of 
many  different  types,  and  the  durability  and 


serviceability  of  these  reinforced  highways 
insures  the  utmost  in  ultimate  returns  for  road 
appropriations — low  upkeep  costs  and  more 
general  satisfaction  to  the  public. 

Our  engineers  have  inspected  a  great  deal  of 
this  work  since  completion  and  much  has  been 
learned  as  a  result  of  wide  experience  under 
varying  conditions  during  the  past  five  years. 

This  data  includes  not  only  roads  reinforced 
with  Havemeyer  reinforcement,  but  also  roads 
in  which  no  reinforcement  was  used,  together 
with  types  of  roads  other  than  concrete. 

This  information  is  at  the  service  of  engi¬ 
neers  and  public  works  officials. 

Write  for  our  new  Road  Catalogue.

Havemeyer  Fireproofing  Products 


AVEMEYER  Fireproofing  Products  com¬ 
prise  a  complete  line  of  metal  lath, 
channels,  angles  and  flats,  corner 
beads,  wire  viesh,  steel  tile,  expanded  metal, 
metal  lumber,  etc.  The  majority  of  these 
products  are  always  kept  on  hand  in  our  ware¬ 
houses  ready  for  immediate  shipment.  Wheth¬ 
er  you  require  immediate  shipment  or  ship¬ 
ments  over  a  period  of  time,  we  are  in  a  posi¬ 
tion  to  give  real  service  regardless  of  the 
quantity. 

There  is  today  an  ever-increasing  demand 
for  these  products,  due  to  the  awakening  of 
the  general  public  to  the  advantages  of  put¬ 
ting  up  buildings  either  fireproof  or  as  near 
fireproof  as  possible,  and  using  a  type  of  con¬ 
struction  which  will  reduce  maintenance  cost 
to  a  minimum.  Metal  lath  is  recognized  to¬ 
day  as  the  most  fireproof  base  for  plastering 
walls,  ceilings  and  exteriors.  By  using  metal 


lath,  not  only  is  the  fire  risk  greatly  dimin¬ 
ished,  but  cracks  are  practically  eliminated 
and  a  much  more  substantial  structure  is  ob¬ 
tained.  While  the  initial  cost  may  be  slightly 
higher  than  other  plastering  bases,  the  advan¬ 
tages  gained  by  using  metal  lath  more  than 
compensate  for  any  extra  expense.  We  carry 
various  types  of  metal  lath  and  would  be 
pleased  to  furnish  architects  or  contractors 
with  full  information  as  to  the  type  best  adap¬ 
ted  for  any  particular  structure. 

It  is  of  great  advantage  to  the  contractor 
to  purchase  all  of  his  metal  building  products 
from  one  source.  By  so  doing  delays  in  deliv¬ 
ery  are  avoided,  economy  effected  in  delivery 
costs,  and  responsibility  centralized. 

Some  of  the  articles  shown  are  carried 
only  in  our  larger  warehouses,  as  certain  lo¬ 
calities  require  particular  materials  not  gen¬ 
erally  used.

Havemeyer  Flat  Lath 


Havemeyer  Metal  Lath 


ETAL  lath  has  long  been  used  as  a  stand¬ 
ard  material  for  a  plastering  base.  In 
fireproof  buildings  it  is  used  as  a  plas¬ 
tering  base  around  steel  beams,  girders,  col¬ 
umns  and  other  structural  material.  With 
the  plaster  properly  applied,  it  forms  an  ab¬ 
solute  fireproofing  protection  for  the  structural 
members. 

Metal  lath  is  also  extensively  used  for 
walls,  ceilings  and  partition  work,  using  angles 
or  channels  as  studding.  A  partition  down  to 
two  inches  thick  can  be  made  which  is  sound¬ 
proof,  fireproof  and  of  great  strength. 

Another  use  for  metal  lath  is  in  the  fire¬ 
proofing  of  residences,  garages,  barns  and  all 
types  of  non-fireproof  buildings.  When  used 
in  connection  with  wood  studding  on  walls  and 
ceilings  it  forms,  in  connection  with  the 
plaster,  a  very  valuable  fire-resisting  crack- 
proof  surface. 

On  the  exterior  of  all  types  of  wooden 
buildings,  metal  lath  with  properly  applied 
stucco  of  cement  will  make  the  building  fire- 
resisting  from  exterior  causes  and  at  the  same 
time  avoid  expensive  painting. 

Havemeyer  Metal  Lath  is  manufactured 
in  various  types — the  type  to  be  used  on  each 


building  operation  depending  on  the  character 
of  construction. 

Havemeyer  Flat  Lath  is  an  expanded 
lath  made  from  sheet  steel,  painted  or  galvan¬ 
ized,  copper-bearing  steel  or  pure  iron.  The 
openings  in  the  mesh  are  of  small  size,  thus  ef¬ 
fecting  an  economy  in  plaster  and  providing 
a  strong  key.  The  paint  used  on  this  lath  was 
selected  after  a  long  series  of  tests  made  under 
different  climatic  conditions  in  various  parts 
of  the  United  States  and  is  the  best  preserva¬ 
tive  that  has  yet  been  found  for  metal  lath. 

Where  metal  lath  is  used  in  damp  climates 
or  in  exposed  places,  galvanized,  copper-bear¬ 
ing  or  pure  iron  lath  is  recommended. 

All  sheets  are  24  x  96  inches,  squared  cor¬

Havemeyei-  y^'  Rib  Lath 


Havemeyer  Flat  Rib  Lath 

Havemeyer  Flat  Rib  Lath  has  many  at¬ 
tractive  and  economical  features  and  is  largely 
used  where  speed  and  saving  of  plaster  are  es¬ 
sential. 

The  longitudinal  Ribs,  or  beads,  inch 
wide,  1%  inch  center  to  center,  are  inter-con¬ 
nected  at  %.  inch  intervals  by  stays  or  strands. 
These  strands  in  turn  are  reinforced  strongly 
at  their  centers  by  a  stiffening  member. 

Some  advantages  of  Havemeyer  Flat  Rib 
Lath : 

Permits  scratching  in  and  doubling  back 
from  same  scaffold — practically  two  coat  work 
— a  big  economy  in  labor  and  mortar. 

Permits  wider  spacing  of  supports — thus 
saving  material  and  labor. 

Sheets  are  square-edged — no  loss  in  lap- 
Ping. 

No  jagged  points  to  jeopardize  quick 
handling. 

Alaximum  economy  and  all  the  desired 
crackproof  and  fireproof  qualities  of  ordinary 
metal  lath. 


Havemeyer  %"  Rib  Lath 

Havemeyer  Rib  Lath  is  very  rigid  and 
strong  due  to  the  rib  expansion  between  the 
heavy  Y”  ribs  spaced  4.8  inches  on  centers. 

This  lath  is  used  where  a  wider  spacing  of 
studs  is  desirable  and  economical.  The  lath 
should  be  placed  with  ribs  facing  the  studs 
and  at  right  angles  to  them. 

Havemeyer  yy'  Rib  Lath  is  used  economi¬ 
cally  with  Havemeyer  Steel  Tile  and  Steel 
Lumber. 

This  lath  is  manufactured  from  open 
hearth  sheets,  from  galvanized  sheets  and 
from  rust-resisting  coppered  metal. 

Havemeyer  yy'  Rib  Lath  is  easy  to  erect, 
as  the  outside  ribs  nest  closely,  leaving  an  even 
surface  for  plastering.  This  lath  is  easy  to 
handle  as  there  are  no  sharp  edges  or  projec¬ 
tions. 

Havemeyer  Galvanized  yy'  Rib  Lath, 
weighing  3.6  lbs.  per  square  yard,  is  a  special 
product,  and  its  use  is  recommended  in  place 
of  4.00  lb.  steel  lath,  sold  at  about  the  same 
price.

Havemeyer  Ribplex 

Havemeyer  Ribplex  is  formed  from  a  single 
sheet  of  steel.  The  longitudinal  ribs  in 
height,  are  cold-rolled,  which  greatly  in¬ 
creases  the  tensile  strength  and  elastic  limit. 
The  metal  between  the  ribs  is  expanded,  with 
the  strands  on  edge,  which  gives  a  stiff  surface 
to  work  on,  and  is  a  distinct  advantage  over 
many  other  types. 

Havemeyer  Ribplex  has  six  ribs  to  a 
sheet  spaced  4.8  inches  center  to  center.  Each 


sheet  covers  24  inches  in  width.  The  standard 
lengths  carried  in  stock  at  the  mill  for  prompt 
shipment  are  7,  8,  9,  10,  ii  and  12  feet. 

Havemeyer  Ribplex  compared  with 
similar  products,  offers  heavier  gauge  weight 
for  weight  and  lower  cost  gauge  for  gauge. 
Havemeyer  Ribplex  is  used  largely  for 
roof  construction,  partitions,  floor  slabs,  out¬ 
side  walls,  etc. 

Full  construction  details  will  be  gladly 
furnished  on  application.

Havemeyer  Expansion  Products 


0 


XPANSION  products  shown 
here  have  many  very  impor¬ 
tant  advantages.  These  pro¬ 
ducts  are  all  made  from  one  piece  of 
galvanized  metal.  The  expansion 
portion  provides  a  permanent  bond 
which  eliminates  any  possibility  of 
cleavage  and  shrinkage  cracks  which 
usually  occur  with  other  types  of 
beads  and  trim. 

Most  types  of  metal  casing 
provide  no  grip  hold  for  the  plas¬ 
ter,  and  consequently,  as  the  plaster 
dries,  it  slips  away  from  the  metal 
and  cleavage  cracks  are  almost  cer¬ 
tain  to  show  along  the  lines  where 
wall  and  casing  meet.  The  tight 
juncture  of  wall  and  casing  or  bead 
formed  by  the  reinforcement  pro¬ 
vided  by  this  expansion  feature  adds 
greatly  to  the  sanitary  conditions 
found  in  these  types  of  expansion 
products. 

The  initial  cost  is  surprisingly  low 
compared  with  the  cost  of  wood  cas¬ 
ings  and  the  installation  cost  is  muchi 
lower  than  other  similar  types  of 
products.

The  small  openings  in  the  expan¬ 
sion  wings  are  of  peculiar  advantage 
lending  greater  reinforcement  and 
economy  of  plaster. 

These  products  can  also  be  fur¬ 
nished  in  zinc  and  copper. 

By  using  Havemeyer  No.  7  Ex¬ 
panded  Metal  Flashing,  the  danger 
of  cracking  of  exterior  stucco  around 
doors,  windows  and  other  openings 
is  eliminated.  Water  cannot  leak  in 
between  casings  and  the  stucco  where 
Havemeyer  No.  7  Expansion  Flash¬ 
ing  has  been  used.  The  solid  metal 
wing  on  one  side  prevents  this,  while 
on  the  other  side  the  expanded  metal

In  both  the  Havemeyer  Expansion 
Corner  Bead  and  the  Havemeyer 
Expansion  Flashing  great  economies 
in  time  are  effected  as  compared  with 
erection  under  old  methods.  They 
can  be  wired,  stapled,  nailed  or  stuck 
to  any  kind  of  wall  construction 
without  the  use  of  clips.  Large  stocks 
are  carried  at  all  warehouses  ready 
for  immediate  shipment.

Havemeyer  Steel  Tile 


AVEMEYER  Steel  Tile  are  light  corru¬ 
gated  steel  forms  used  in  conjunction 
with  reinforced  concrete  for  floor  con¬ 
struction. 

Steel  Tile  floors  eliminate  useless  concrete, 
reduce  dead  weight  and  increase  live  load 
capacity. 

They  are  cheaper  on  certain  types  of  con¬ 
struction  than  wooden  forms,  particularly 
where  light  loads  are  required.  They  can  be 
removed  after  concreting  if  desired. 

Havemeyer  Steel  Tile  is  made  of  No.  26, 
22  and  20  gauge  Steel  with  deep  stiffening  cor¬ 
rugations  across  the  top  and  in  the  sloping 
sides.  Each  supporting  edge  is  finished  with  a 
flange  which  prevents  loss  of  concrete  during 
the  pouring  operation.  They  are  made  in 
depths  of  4",  6",  8",  10",  12"  and  14"  and  in 
lengths  of  30"  and  36".  Havemeyer  Steel 
Tile  are  20"  wide  across  the  bottom.  They 
are  also  furnished  single  and  double  tapered, 
the  latter  tapering  from  20  inches  at  one  end 
to  16  inches  at  the  other.  Tapered  Tile  are 
made  in  36"  lengths  only.  It  is  sometimes  de¬ 
sirable  to  have  narrower  Tile  where  the  area 
to  be  covered  is  not  an  exact  multiple  of  the 
regular  20-inch  Tile.  For  this  condition  we 
furnish  Tile  in  12  and  16-inch  widths  in  all 
the  standard  depths.  These  narrower  widths 
are  not  supplied  in  single  or  double  tapered 
form. 

There  are  some  engineers  and  architects 
who  want  a  deep  rib  corrugation.  This  we 
can  furnish  on  order.  Methods  of  construc¬ 
tion,  safe  loads,  etc.,  will  be  the  same  as  for 
standard  Tile. 


In  some  cases,  for  the  sake  of  economy,  a 
greater  space  between  the  joists  is  desirable 
than  is  furnished  by  our  standard  20-inch  Tile. 
Where  this  condition  exists  we  can  fur¬ 
nish  Tile  25  inches  wide  which  will  pro¬ 
duce  joist  29  to  3034  inches  on  centers  as  com¬ 
pared  with  24  to  2514  on  centers  with  our 
standard  Tile  construction.  Safe  loads  and 
other  data  on  the  25-inch  Havemeyer  Tile  for 
any  condition  will  be  supplied  upon  request. 

Large  stocks  of  Havemeyer  Steel  Tile  are 
carried  at  all  branch  warehouses  and  are 
shipped  nested  in  compact  bundles,  easy  to 
handle  in  transit  or  on  the  job.  They  require 
but  small  storage  space  and  entail  no  losses 
through  breakage. 

Where  necessary,  end  caps  can  be  fur¬ 
nished  for  regular  or  tapered  Havemeyer 
Steel  Tile.

CONCRETE  STEEL  COMPANY 


Havemeyer  Metal  Lumber 


HERE  are  certain  types  of  buildings 
where  Havemeyer  Metal  Lumber 
should  be  used  because  it  is  econom¬ 
ical,  practical  and  easy  to  erect.  There  is  a 
decided  tendency  today  to  construct  buildings 
as  near  fireproof  as  possible.  The  use  of 
Havemeyer  Metal  Lumber  combined  with 
other  Havemeyer  fireproof  products,  such  as 
Metal  Lath,  Corner  Bead,  Channels,  Steel 
Tile,  etc.,  are  important  factors  in  this  type  of 
construction. 

By  the  use  of  Havemeyer  Metal  Lumber 
lighter  loads  are  developed,  resulting  in  a  sav¬ 
ing  throughout  the  building. 

Lower  costs  for  transportation  and  less 
space  required  for  storing  at  site. 

Less  labor  and  limited  equipment  required 
by  contractor  in  the  operation. 


Increases  speed  of  construction  in  winter. 

Havemeyer  Metal  Lumber  is  made  from 
uniform  strength  pressed  steel.  The  complete 
joists  or  studs  receive  a  heavy  coat  of  rust  re¬ 
sisting  paint,  before  shipment. 

Havemeyer  Metal  Lumber  is  made  in 
“Standard”  and  “Special”  sections.  Standard 
Metal  Lumber  sections  are  made  of  steel  of 
.072  to  .090  inches  thick  in  standard  designs. 
Metal  Lumber  sections  made  of  steel  .120 
inches  in  thickness,  are  designated  as  “Spe¬ 
cial”  and  used  largely  for  headers  and  trim¬ 
mers  and  in  places  where  conditions  call  for 
increased  strength. 

Standard  Metal  Lumber  sections  may  be 
furnished  in  any  desired  length,  subject  only 
to  shipping  and  erection  limitation. 

Special  sections 
made  of  metal  .120 
inches  in  thickness 
cannot  be  formed  to 
advantage  in  lengths 
greater  than  16'  8"  for 
joists  4  to  10  inches  in 
depth,  or  12'  6"  for 
joists  1 1  and  1 2  inches 
in  depth. 

All  “Standard” 
Metal  Lumber  Studs 
may  be  pronged  both 
sides  for  the  attach¬ 
ment  of  lath,  and  joists 
may  be  pronged  at  the 
lower  flanges.  “Spe¬ 
cial”  material  is  too 
heavy  to  prong  satis¬ 
factorily,  but  holes 
may  be  punched  for  at¬ 
tachment  of  lath  by 
wiring.

Havemeyer  Copper  Steel  Basement  Windows 


TEEL  basement  windows  have  today  su¬ 
perseded  wooden  frames  and  sash,  due 
to  their  decided  advantages  in  dura¬ 
bility,  neatness,  lighting  and  ventilation,  and 
protection  of  property.  They  unquestionably 
add  to  the  house  a  good  deal  of  home  value  as 
well  as  sales  value.  Steel  basement  windows, 
when  made  of  copper  steel,  will  last  indefin¬ 
itely,  are  neat  looking,  both  from  outside 
and  inside,  and  allow  a  greater  volume  of 
light — approximately  8o%  more — based  on 
the  size  of  the  opening,  as  compared  with  the 
old-fashioned  wooden  sash. 

As  to  the  cost,  they  cost  no  more  than  wood¬ 
en  sash,  and  in  fact  are  cheaper,  when  you  con¬ 
sider  labor  in  fitting,  installing  and  painting 
woo.den  sash.  Steel  Sash  comes  all  ready  to 
set  in  the  masonry,  and  no  fitting  is  necessary. 


Havemeyer  Basement  Windows  are  made 
from  highest  grade  copper  steel. 

The  frame  is  manufactured  from  one  piece 
of  heavy  rolled  copper  steel. 

It  is  the  stiffest  frame  on  the  market  and 
cannot  get  out  of  alignment. 

Holes  are  provided  in  the  frame  for  bolts 
to  fasten  screens. 

The  lock  is  positive  and  safe.  The  lock 
has  a  cam  action,  drawing  the  ventilator  tight 
against  the  frame.  Muntin  bars  are  T  section, 
solidly  riveted  to  frame  of  ventilator. 

Riveted  jamb  bar  strips  give  a  line  for  the 
mason  to  work  to,  both  inside  and  outside  the 
foundation.  These  wide  bar  strips  provide 
ample  anchorage  and  clearance  for  ventilator 
to  prevent  jamming  against  the  masonry.

Ventilator  is  hung  by  extra  heavy  hinge 
with  spring  pin  offset  from  frame  to  give 
ample  clearance.  This  prevents  binding  on  ma¬ 
sonry,  so  often  found  in  other  sash.  Hinge  al¬ 
lows  sash  to  be  easily  removed  for  glazing. 

Single  weathering  and  integral  drip — no 
rain,  snow  or  wind  can  get  through. 

Glazing  clips  are  supplied  attached  to  each 
sash  in  a  small  cloth  bag. 

Two  pounds  of  putty  will  glaze  either  a 
1012  or  1420  window,  while  22/3  pounds  of 
putty  will  glaze  a  1218  or  1020  window.  The 
cost  of  glazing,  including  glass,  putty  and  la¬ 
bor,  for  styles  1012  and  1420  is  approximately 
80  cents  per  window.  This  cost  for  styles  1218 
and  1020  is  approximately  $1.00  per  window. 

The  rabbets  that  receive  the  glass  should 
be  bed-puttied  first  and  the  glass  then  set  in 
place.  The  spring  glazing  clips  are  next  in¬ 
serted,  with  the  twisted  portion  of  the  clip  em¬ 
bedded  in  the  putty  at  the  edges  of  the  glass. 
(In  Havemeyer  Basement  Windows  two  sets 
of  holes  are  provided  for  inserting  the  clips — 
one  for  ordinary  glass,  the  other  for  heavier 
wire  glass).  The  glazing  clips  are  snapped 
into  position  in  the  holes  provided  for  them, 
by  springing  down  the  end  of  the  clip  with  the 
putty  knife.  A  neat  finish  is  secured  by  face- 
puttying  in  the  usual  manner. 


No.  1218  and  No.  1420  have  been  particu¬ 
larly  designed  to  work  out  satisfactorily  with 
concrete  block,  which  are  standardized  to  lay 
up  in  multiples  of  16"  wide  and  8"  high. 

Havemeyer  Basement  Windows  are  sup¬ 
plied  assembled  complete  with  glazing  clips, 
but  without  glass,  in  the  following  sizes :

Havemeyer  Security  Anchors 


Nailing  nvilh  Barbs 


X  1 6  gauge 


'ip^AVEMEYER  Security  An- 
W  1  chor  is  a  device  for 
bonding  brick  veneer, 
terra  cotta,  stone  or  tile  wains¬ 
coting  and  plaster  to  concrete 
surfaces,  and  also  for  suspending 
metal  lath  ceilings,  holding  floor 
sleepers,  etc.  It  is  made  from  ^ 
hoop  steel,  dipped,  and  is  furnished  in  8' 
standard  lengths  with  self-contained  anchor 
arms  and  either  nailing  barbs  or  nailing  holes. 

As  shown  in  the  accompanying  illustra¬ 
tions,  Havemeyer  Security  Anchor  is  nailed  to 
the  forms  so  that  the  self-contained  anchor 
arms  extend  into  the  concrete  in  such  a  way  as 
to  secure  the  strongest  grip. 

When  the  forms  are  removed,  it  is  a  sim¬ 
ple  matter  to  pry  between  the  Anchor  and  the 
wall,  wherever  necessary,  to  form  loops  for 
the  insertion  of  Havemeyer  Security  Wall- 
Tys.  These  loops  may  be  opened  at  any  point 
along  the  strip,  and  the  Wall-Ty  can  be  raised 
or  lowered  several  inches  so  as  to  fit  accurately 


Qjr-  NAILING 
HOLE 


between  the  joints  of  the  stone  or 
brick  used  on  the  wall.  This 
gives  a  positive  anchor,  with  the 
arms  extending  at  the  proper 
place,  and  forms  the  strongest 
tie  between  a  concrete  wall  and 
facing  of  masonry.  The  Secu¬ 
rity  Wall-Ty  will  not  rust  or  become  loose. 

Used  as  an  anchor  for  sleepers,  it  is  em¬ 
bedded  in  the  surface  of  the  concrete.  Sleepers 
are  laid  crosswise  and  wire  is  inserted  under 
the  anchor  and  around  the  sleeper,  thus  hold¬ 
ing  the  sleeper  rigidly  to  the  concrete  base. 

Havemeyer  Security  Anchor  has  been  in 
extensive  use  all  over  the  country  and  has 
given  complete  sjitisfaction  in  the  various  pur¬ 
poses  for  which  it  is  adapted.  Havemeyer  Se¬ 
curity  Anchors  are  specified  by  many  leading 
architects  and  engineers. 

Large  stocks  of  Security  Anchor  and  Wall- 
Tys  are  carried  at  all  Concrete  Steel  Com¬ 
pany  warehouses,  ready  for  immediate  ship¬ 
ment.  Samples  are  furnished  on  request.
